☆ 'Right now is not the time to be a hero': Top investing minds at $1.4 trillion T. Rowe Price warn that there's serious recession risk in 2024 — but these 4 tech stocks will still dominate

Several large investment firms are writing off a recession in the US in 2024 as growth holds up and inflation steadily declines, but T. Rowe Price thinks that optimism may be misplaced. While T. Rowe Price doesn't have an official call on the economy, the brightest minds at the $1.4 trillion Baltimore-based firm urged investors to be cautious at a mid-November conference. However, T. Rowe Price is skeptical that the Fed will end its fight against inflation anytime soon. T. Rowe Price found that through October, those names rose 53.2% compared to a 1.2% year-to-date return for the other 493 companies in the S&P 500. Dom Rizzo, a portfolio manager of global technology equity strategy at T. Rowe Price, agreed that the Magnificent 7's momentum won't stop just because the group is pricey.

This means the property will probably be in a fairly affordable range, and won't be too much to manage. This can mean the economic and population trends in the state or city you're looking to invest in are positive. Making sure a deal cash flowsConsidering the above criteria, Trench said to make a "buy box," or a specific outline of the exact type of property you're looking for. The "buy box" should include specific neighborhoods you're looking to buy in, and a specific price range you're looking to buy in. After all of these expenses, the landlord would still pocket $390 a month, Trench said.

Maximize the SEO benefitsOne of the best ways to grow your YouTube channel — and business — is to tap into its SEO potential.

Meanwhile, parents and experts say schools neglect students with math disabilities like dyscalculia, which affects up to 7% of the population and often coexists with dyslexia. Learning struggles for some may be due to dyscalculia or other math learning disabilities, yet few teachers report their students have been screened for dyscalculia. Experts say learning the most effective methods for teaching students with math disabilities could strengthen math instruction for all students. Part of the problem is that teachers don’t receive the training needed to work with children with math disabilities. “It’s pretty rare for undergraduate degrees or even master’s degrees to focus on math learning disabilities with any level of breadth, depth, quality or rigor,” said Amelia Malone, director of research and innovation at the National Center for Learning Disabilities.

☆ The state of return-to-office policies: a post-Labor Day reset?

New York CNN —Some big-name employers are signaling they will get tough on enforcing their return-to-office mandates after Labor Day. It’s hard to say whether such moves by well-known companies signal a broader trend of employers getting serious about enforcing RTO policies. Meanwhile, one study suggests the hours employees spend at work on the days they do go in may be changing. The state of enforcementFor all the various data and research that seeks to capture the reality and impact of hybrid work policies, it’s hard to find nationally representative, statistically significant samplings of HR executives detailing their organization’s return-to-office policies or enforcement strategies. For example, the HR team at Gartner, which helps clients design and implement workplace policies, did a live poll survey of 225 of its HR clients during a webinar on May 31.

☆ Little used tax-free benefit can help employees pay their student loans
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-29 | by ( Jeanne Sahadi | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

That $5,250 is the federal cap on the amount of tax-free money that employers may offer to help defray employees’ qualified costs for their own education, including tuition and fees. In response to the Society of Human Resource Management’s 2023 employer benefits survey, only 8% of organizations said they offer student loan benefits to employees, a percentage that hasn’t changed for five years. But lawmakers who advocated for tax-advantaged employer benefits to help with student loan payments are concerned there hasn’t been enough public awareness of it. That may be of particular interest now that the yearslong pause in payments on federal student loans is expiring. But for anyone who also has to pay off private student loans, the amount they shell out every month is likely much higher.

☆ My company lost $450K because we didn't fire 5 wrong hires quickly enough. It's important to 'fire fast' — even though it's difficult.
▼ + stars: | 2023-08-22 | by ( Melissa Kwan | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +9 min

After spending too much time and money because I'd rather avoid tough conversations, I finally learned the importance of "firing fast." The concept of "hire slow, fire fast" has been popularized by startup culture, referring to the agility required to grow a company in a competitive environment. In our first two years, we made five wrong hires that ended up costing $450K because we didn't "fire fast." The most expensive thing about wrong hires is not money — it's time (and sadly sometimes friendships, as mentioned above). While not all costs can be avoided — because you don't know what you don't know — they can be mitigated by "firing fast."

Global Head of Fixed Income Group Sara Devereux said on Thursday the probability of another interest rate increase by the Fed this year stood at 50%. Beyond that, the U.S. central bank was likely to maintain a "hawkish hold" on rates. "We don't think they're going to cut rates anytime soon ... the Fed may have more work to do." Vanguard, which manages $8 trillion in assets, said its base case scenario remained for a shallow recession in 2024 as higher interest rates hit the economy.

As always, the firms were recruiting first-year investment banking analysts for jobs that won't start until 2025. Midnight interviews are not uncommon in private-equity recruiting, nor are "exploding offers," which demand that candidates make a decision before leaving the interview room to prevent them from shopping around. $300,000 offersOver the years, on-cycle recruiting has crept up on candidates earlier and earlier.
